  1. I use a few and recycle some. I've got space for gun cleaning and ammo etc, my old Milwaukee bags are now being used for lathe tools and supplies.
  2. No problem bro. Those posts won't go anywhere!
  3. Still haven't gotten my W2 yet but nothing in the near future. Saving for a outer building / shop.
  4. UTB 5 closed guys. If you feel a post needs to be locked down just shoot me a pm or Jasonc or Regopit or Conductor and we will moderate it. Thanks all!
  5. Well guys...we have had a HUGE influx of new members on the forum. This number increases each time a prize is announced. Eric and Dan push the YouTube channel hard as well as other social websites and people see the prizes and immediately pop on the forum. This is great, we've gotten some awesome members! A large group of these people make a few posts and then go away. Some put up huge numbers of posts super fast. Most of these posts go right to the first thing they see (UTB5 which I won.....I thank you very much ) and skip over the next one in line. The forum is designed so that any member can begin a new topic. It's really up to a member to do a search in the bar to see if a topic has already begun and that's where the ball starts to roll from. If each member took the time to research a topic before beginning anew, our topics would drop dramatically. Anyways.....this does not happen too often. Somebody will start a new topic on the UTB, even knowing there's a bunch already started. Then you've got the moderators trying to read each topic and get involved, make sure the posts aren't causing issues, find spammers, ban them, answer questions....it is a lot of reading! I think the concept is a good idea but to put it in practical terms, it's not that easy. Plus deleting a post has its own ramifications, it deletes everybody's posts that participated in the topic. When I find a duplicate post I can merge them but for instance. There's has to be six or seven new topics started since I went to be last night, over the course of the day there may be twenty or more! Merging a topic can cause confusion to the flow of the topic also. If a member started a topic, it's going great, lots of replies and banter then bam! I merge another topic into the first one it throws the course of the topic off. I will try harder to find duplicates out there and if they fit I'll merge them but ultimately it would be great if a member uses the search bar first before starting a relatively popular topic....i.e. The UTB. Then they can chime in on a particular topic.
  6. I'm just saying....if I can sit on that thing and make all my TIA posts on the throne (like I don't know....,maybe now??) not have my legs fall asleep and get a warm wet enema I'm thinking 4K sounds like one hell of a deal.
  7. It's like a Picaso.....for poo.
  8. That is actually a heck of a deal.
  9. Me too! Can't wait for the glue gun!!
  10. You have your name posted on your profile. Also welcome to the forum.
  11. If you get the Bosch tough drills the new ones also have active response which will prevent our students from breaking a wrist while overdriving!

  15. Nope John! I bought it this morning! You just got some awesome tools collecting dust! No I'll sell my DW745 to put back in the piggy bank but this was something I had been saving up for and watching like a hawk for months now.
  16. Comp wins! Contractor with the 36" pro fence and the extended cast iron wings! I got it on eBay from a reputable seller, brand new in box! I'm thinking the store buys out closed stores inventory. Anyways retails for $1949 ish? $1250 save 7 bones! Selling my DW745 to make room for this guy! I have been shelling away money for a while now for a table saw and my Wife wouldn't let me go with a regular saw.
  17. TIA deserves it backing up such an awesome saw!!!
  18. Also bought a 19mm Craftsman wrench for one of my routers. Ends up made in China. It didn't say it but the code on the side is a Chinese manufacturing location. Still a really nice heavy duty wrench. And it was the missing one from the Gearwrench set of ratcheting ones I picked up a few weeks ago.
  19. I bought the Sawstop CNS175-TGPS36 Contractor saw with pro fence. Ouch. Got a crackin' deal through a third part sellers me save $750 bucks! I should have it next Tuesday
